  1. I am from Taylor, MI, which is the hometown the late dwarf guy that was like Kid Rock's side kick. Not that I like Kid Rock's music, but our next door neihgbors (Who seem to know everyone) always had the midget over, although I didn't know who he was at the time. They said Kid Rock swam in their pool. I'm straying a little from the subject here, but for those of you who know the pro baseball player Steve Avery, he grew up right down the street from where I did. But there is probably around a ten or fifteen year age gap, so he was significantly older than I. And these same neighbors, the ones who knew Kid Rock's sidekick, got to play baseball with Steve Avery once. I don't think I ever even met him. None of this tops that radio one, Carl. Man, that seriously sucks.

  2. Does anyone know the original lyrics to this song? The story goes that some singing group, I forget their name, was performing and the lead singer forgot the words, so covered it up by singing the now-famous na na na na na na part. Trouble is, I haven't been able to find the first lyrics to that portion of the song anywhere. Shall the answer forever remain a mystery? Hopefully Muzik will see this post. He seems to know everything.

  3. The only Jimi cover I've ever heard of is a cover of Creams Sunshine of your love
    THATS IT! My friend always plays the intro to it and says it's a Zeppelin song, but he is stupid and gets everything mixed up he hears, and I know he doesn't listen to Cream, so how he knew that always confused me. Well, now I know! Also, the Eagles technically covered themselves, but I wouldnt' really count that. I don't believe I can think of a single band that didn't do any covers. I guess I'm just not a very well rounded guy musically.
  4. I could have sworn I posted this link on here.. The album is basically about (my take on it) Roger Waters' life and a little of Syd Barret's thrown in. But it also has WWII parallels, and talks about how naive and rowdy an audience can be, and often they come to shows to get drunk and get laid, not for the music. A lot of meanings to the album, but the best analysis of the album is here. It is seperated by song, so you can go right to Comfortably Numb. The Wall Analysis Hopeully this helps some.

  5. That makes sense. I heard something about the pig not supposed be getting up there in the air, and the rope came loose or something, but I don't know how true that is. The way I view the album, although I'm probably wrong, is this: Pigs are the high up people, the people who totally reap the benefits of others work, and are, like you said, politicians, but also bosses, CEOs, etc. I think Dogs are ordinary people who gradually get moved up the economic ladder and become in a higher position than entry-level. They sort of forget what it was like to be the proletariat, and exploit the people that are under them, the helpless sheep. That is my opinion, and it's probably wrong, so if anyone else has any ideas go ahead and shout em out.

  6. fragile.jpg All of the Yes sleeves (early Yes) had way cool album art. I always liked how it would fold out and there would be more drawings on the inside. yellowbrick.jpg An album with some great songs and some ok songs, but for some reason I really like the album cover. It's cool. shavedfish.gif An album that I am liking more and more each time I hear it. I like all the sketches on the front though. facebc.jpg Not necessarily great album art, but I like the guy on the far right, his face always makes me laugh. The picture quality isn't too great, but if you look at the back of the LP, he has his faces pressed up against the glass. Jeff Lynne looks like a mad bull in this one too. animals-cover-m.jpg I have always liked this album art. I've never been quite clear as to what the story was concerning the giant inflatable pig though. Hopefully I haven't made this page difficult to load.
  7. I wish I could play air drums. I, however, have developed the bad habit of drumming on my leg, which leaves a welt after 3 or 4 songs. I love drumming to the intro of Changes by Yes, Heart of The Sunrise, also by Yes, and Wipeout (of course). I have also grown quite fond of the intro to Sunshine of Your Love by Cream. I also like to make up my own insane fills and beats on really slow songs so it sounds really out of place.

  8. I forgot about Pigs!! I wasn't going to mention One Of These Days though because I said a lot of Pink Floyd stuff anyway. I love the part where it cuts in and out. Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk. Awesome song. I knew this kid who played the part of the masochistic patient in the play Little Shop Of Horrors, and everytime he would say Docter, he said it with this Jersey accent, and it sounded just like in Stethoscope when they are going "docta docta!"
